Cannot connect to remote disk over network
Hello, my first time here, and I'm looking for help.I'm running Vista Ultimate, 32bit, with a home network and internet. Recently I bought, and installed, the "Argosy Mobile Video HDD Pro," model #HV359T (it's essentially an external 1.5TB drive housed in a small case that lets you store and play media -- movies, music, pictures, etc. Nifty thing.) I set it up and it works just fine, and downloaded some movies on it via USB. BUT, I just can't map it to a drive on Vista on my home network. The error I get is simple: "Windows cannot access 192.168.1.103" (The IP addr of the box). I can ping it, the supplied utilities can see it, but Vista just can't when I try to map it. I have no further diagnostic info, just that Windows can't access it; not too helpful. I suspect it's a security issue, but that's just a wild guess.Anyone have such an experience or thoughts? Or more hopefully, a fix for the problem?Thanks,Dean
